SUMMARY: Formed after the demise of The Shenanigans as 'Yossarian Lives', the band eventually solidified as a four-piece called The Bernie Lomax Five in 2005 (with Bernie Lomax being the always absent fifth member). The band later settled with Fotakopoulos on drums after second drummer Steve Dickie moved to the wilds of Blainey. Playing a handful of shows throughout the '00s, the band worked on an album in their last couple of years with the addition of CC Manson on keyboards before finishing up when Locke decided to take a break from music.
